my adventures in the kitchen (with a bit of life in general thrown in)

— I recently read Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential. Before reading I didn’t know much about him, other than seeing him occasionally on Top Chef. I still think he’s extremely egotistical and self-centred, but the book is absolutely fascinating if you know very little about the restaurant industry (which I didn’t). His newer one Medium Raw is definitely on my list.
